I would like to suggest to MOVE the remaining few files that are on the PT named

x........dat

to

u........dat

(background info: the x....dat files are a numbering relict from the very early days of LDRAW. In those times, the x prefix was used for unofficial parts, and when they became official, the x prefix was removed. this way such party get a sudden "renumbering" during their release.
this is somewhat awkward. compared to that, the u.... numbers have been introduced later and represent parts of which we do not know their real number. when released, they keep their u......dat filename from the PT. IMHO that mechanism is better.)

There is only a tiny handful of such x.......dat files left on the PT,
and I would like to avoid them in future. After they have been renumbered to u.........dat,
the PT should be adjusted to no longer allow x........dat uploads.

Hello,
Rebrickable  offer us export parts as LDCad Parts Bin PBG as one of many options. I'm new with LDCad.

• Can you tell me with version on LCad is currently supported ?
  
• How LDCad colors codes corresponding with LDraw color normalization ?
  

Hi,

I need help with the installation of the new update. The first time I downloaded it, I used the Windows installation for the full library and the new parts don't show up. Then I tried changing the destination to the PARTS folder. Did I put it in the wrong folder? If so, please tell me where to put it and how to fix this. Many thanks for any help!

I propose that we add the images from the post below to the cylindrical and spherical mapping portions of the TEXMAP spec:

Hi,

this release is mainly a critical bug fix, but it includes one handy feature: You can now open *.dat files from the Windows file explorer.

1. Select a *.dat file
   
2. Open the context menu
   
3. Select "Open with"
   
4. Select "Choose another app"
   
5. Browse for LDPartEditor.exe
   

• ...open *.dat files with LDPartEditor from the Windows file explorer ("Open with..." and select LDPartEditor.exe).
  

1. Fixed a rare but critical undo/redo bug.
   
2. Fixed a synchronization bug between the text and 3D editor.
   
3. Fixed a bug which could freeze the text editor.
   

1. Download the zip-Archive
   
2. Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
   
3. On windows, double-click "LDPartEditor.exe" to start LDPE.
   
4. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "run.sh" to start LDPE.
   

1. On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
   
2. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".

Does anyone know how to open MPD files in Lego Digital Designer? I'm trying to make instructions for myself about the reverse-engineered Lego Universe pets, which you can find on MOCpages under "LEGO Universe Pets" by "Brent S." I'd post a link, but the bots on the wiki think it's spam. Let me try here:

Pet Folder

[/url][url=http://www.moc-pages.com/moc.php/273300]Paradox Alien (sample MPD at download link by bottom of page)

Everything's an MPD, though, and LDD can't open it.

(Please note I am UTTERLY new to the complexity of Digital Lego, and I’m just trying to make physical Lego Universe pets because,

1: I collect and build physical Lego, casually, though,
2: I was unable to play Lego Universe before it went offline,
3: I was unable to enter for the current bout of the Darkflame Universe revival project, 
4: I’ve been looking for nice microbuilds to pass the time and display with my Lego animals, and thought the Lego Universe pets were cool and cute enough to be perfect.

I hope someone can help me. Thanks for reading.

This MOC was created in cooperation with Holgi.
He designed the model, my job was the instruction.
Key data: 2141 parts, 46.6 x 16.1 x 20.4 cm
Fully remote controlled with Lego PF.
There is also a instruction for compatible containers.
A pdf Instruction can be downloaded here.

I have a directory full of models. Most of them are used in a larger scene, but not all. Is there a way to figure out which models are *not* used in the larger scene? Thanks.

[edit]

Never mind. I noticed that MPDCenter creates such a list when it creates an MPD file.

Hi folks,

I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts update 2017-01. The .ini file defines (among other things) the parts available in MLCad's, LEOCad's and Bricksmith's minifigure generator.

Download the file from my website: http://www.holly-wood.it/mlcad/mlcad_ini-en.html

Bye, w.
